If the user wants to get mail so he needs a second machine, have you concidered trying CygWinX (x.cygwin.com) and running your fav email program from there? I'd suggest trying it. Might save your client money and that'll always make you look good.

Depends on what you mean by disk sharing, but you could make a samba shared drive from the Linux box to the Windows box to at least keep the files available to both. Also, if you need to be able to switch between them (e.g., workstation type stuff), you might look at synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/). It's a nice open source program that runs on Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc, and ties the different systems together such that the keyboard, video, and mouse mostly act as though it was a single desktop.
